Question 470628: The airplane could fly 2080 miles in 5 more hours than it took the sports car to drive 195 miles. The speed of the airplane was 4 times the speed of the sports car. Find the speeds and times of both
Answer by monika_p(71) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
for the airplane d=2080, t=t1+5, and v=4*v1
for the car d1=195, t1=? , and v1=?
speed formula
for the airplane we can write:
for the car
since the first equation for airplane has 2 unknown lets substitute v1 from 2nd equation
1300t1=3900
t1=3
then
t=t1+5 = 8
v=4*v1=4*65=260
